17 Again...and Again...and Again

I finally watched "17 Again"....again. It's been months, but I'm glad to find out it's just as funny as it was the first time! Here are the quotes I took from it:

Naomi: "Come on, you'll do great. You've got the butt of a twelve year old boy."

Mike: "Would you stop staring at me?"
Ned: "It's freaking me out."
Mike: "It's freaking ME out! I'm pubescent!"

Ned: "Okay so it's a classic transformation story. It appears in the literature time and time again. Were you at any point shot by a gamma ray?"
Mike: "No."
Ned: "Exposed to gamma radiation?"
Mike: "NO, Ned."
Ned: "Because...you wouldn't see it. That eliminates these and those and most of that side. Are you now or have you ever been a Norse god, vampire, or time-traveling cyborg?"
Mike: "I've known you since, what, first grade? I think maybe I would have TOLD you."
Ned: "A vampire wouldn't tell. A cybog wouldn't know."
Mike: "Just shut up."

Ned: "What is this you're wearing?"
Mike: "This is cool. This is hip. I have a picture of Kevin Federline wearing the exact same thing."
Ned: "I don't know who that is."
Mike: "What are you wearing? I told you show up like a dad. You look like Clay Aiken."

Mike: "Are you sure these look legit?"
Ned: "Oh yeah. Look who you're talking to. I'm the guy who invented the software that prevents people from stealing music. I also invented the software that helps people steal music, but that's a happy coincidence."

Ned: "I think our hands just made a baby."

Ned: "Did you see her undress me with her eyes?"
Mike: "I don't think that's what that was."

Ned: "We're going shopping."
Mike: "Really?"
Ned: "Yeah. Your shirt is bedazzled."
Mike: "Bedazzled with rhinestones."

Jaime: "If that boy were an apple, he'd be a Delicious."

Mike: "According to leading psychiatrists, Stan's a bully for one of three reasons. One: Underneath all of that male bravado there's a little girl banging on the door of the closet trying to get out. Two: Like a caveman, Stan's brain is underdeveloped. Therefore, Stan is unable to use self-control. And so he acts out aggressively. And the third reason: Stan has a small wiener."

Mike: “He’s right. I don’t need one. You know why I don’t need one? Because there’s no one I’m in love with. It’s called “making love,” isn’t it? Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I think that means you do it with someone you love. And preferably when you’re married. You know, when you’re ready to take that love and turn it into a baby. Because that’s what love is. It’s that first moment when you hold your baby girl and you didn’t know that anything could be small or so delicate. And you feel that tiny heart beat and you know that you couldn’t love anything more in the whole world. And you hope that you can do right by that little girl and always be there to catch her when she falls, and that nothing ever hurts her, not a broken arm or a bad dream or a broken heart.”

Ned: "Busted for fighting. Nice. Who won?"
Mike: "You know, it was actually pretty even."
Ned: "Really? On YouTube it kinda looked like you got your ass kicked. I saw it a couple times."

Mike: "What are you wearing?"
Ned: "Hm? Beckham."
Mike: "No, what?"
Ned: "Oh, the clothes. Oh, right. To the untrained eye, I look like a total idiot."
Mike: "You do, in fact."

Alex: "Do you dance with all your friends' moms?"
Mike: "Pretty much."

Mike: "Carnations. What a douche bag."

Mike: "If you girls don't respect yourselves, then how do you expect anyone else to respect you?"
Jaime: "You don't have to respect me."
Lauren: "No, you don't have to respect ME."
Samantha: "You don't even have to remember my name."
Lauren: "Wow, that's slutty."
Mike: "This is some other dad's problem."

Mike: "You might have to meet a few more jerks. But one day you're going to meet a boy who treats you the way you deserve to be treated. Like the sun rises and sets with you."

Maggie: "Are you confused?
Mike: "I am very confused, yes. Extremely confused."
Maggie: "Oh, my god. I get it now. And your hair is always perfectly coiffed and you have highlights."
Mike: "What are you talking about?"
Maggie: "I mean, dude, your jeans are REALLY tight."
Mike: "I'm not gay!"

Jane: "I am the principal, and I cannot be seen with my students' parents."
Ned: "But, Jane, how can you be seen with me when I'm wearing...a cloak of invisibility? Jane, all I'm asking is a chance for us to be friends. Because you're the one I want by my side when I'm storming the Elvish Castle of Ganakinesh."
Jane: "You can plunder my dungeon any time."
Ned: "I'll bring my long-bow."

Gifts

Imagine making a gift for someone and pouring your blood, sweat, tears, time, your very self into this gift. It becomes a representation of you. You give this gift to the person you made it for, and they take the gift and walk away, without so much as a thank you. They are so enthralled with the gift that they forget the giver.

God gives people to us, friends and family. They greatest gifts receive in our lives. Sometimes we come to love them and forget their Maker, we appreciate them without appreciating Him Who gave them to us. And sometimes, God takes them away from us, because He loves us so much, so that we will remember Him.

Song of the Week

The song of the week is for Megs. She knows why. :)

“The Greatest Man That Ever Lived” by Weezer.

I saw this in a video and it was SO funny. I couldn’t get the song out of my head, so I downloaded it and became obsessed.

At first it might be a little wierd, but just listen to the whole thing. Trust me.

Listen to it:

Song of the Week

Hey everyone!

The song of the week is Only Hope” by Mandy Moore. There also is a Switchfoot version, but I prefer the original. I don’t LOVE love Mandy Moore, but I do really like this song. It’s from A Walk to Remember, which is where I first heard it. BTW Walk to Remember = GREAT movie!!! 4 stars (****). Lyrics at the bottom.

Also, I’ve known about this song called “Rangers” by A Fine Frenzy for a while, and it’s good, so I thought I’d share. Megan, I think you especially will like this song. It just sounds like your thing. ; )

Lyrics:

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now you're my only hope

Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

I give You my destiny
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

Have a great day!

Song of the Week

Hey! I’m here with the new Song of the Week(s)!!!!And yes, there is going to be two. This week I found a whole bunch of new, amazing music, and I couldn’t narrow it down to one song. So, the two songs are “Say (All I Need)” by One Republic, and “I Love Rock and Roll” by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. I first heard ‘Say’ in a Twilight music video, and it was just such an amazing song. The lyrics are iffy as a parallel to Twilight, but I LOVE the sound of it, if that makes any sense. As for “I Love Rock N Roll”, I’m going through a Joan Jett phase right now. And no, of course that doesn’t have ANYTHING to do with the fact that KStew’s going to playing her *wink wink*. Some other amazing songs that I ‘found’ this week and that I strongly recommend for you guys to check out are: “Lullaby” by the Spill Canvas, a very sweet, romantic, soft, and lilting . . . . well, lullaby; “What About Now” by Chris Daughtry; “Shakin’” by Rooney, just a cool song; “Breathe” by Angels & Airwaves, a song that is really Twilight-y and reminds me of when I very first read the book, it just has that sound, and it touches me; and “Jai Ho” by the Pussycat Dolls. I have to give a shout out here to Megan for introducing me to the song “Jai Ho”, because it is such a freaking awesome song. It’s Bollywood and dance-y and cool. I love it. Oh, and BTW, “Jai Ho” won the Oscar for Best Song. Just a little fun fact.

Lyrics:

"Say (All I Need)"

Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothing's turned out how you wanted

Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You're doing your best and
Your best look
You're praying that you make it

Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it (Better than you had it)

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Whenever the end is
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there
Go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say it

“I Love Rock N Roll” by Joan Jett and the Black Hearts

I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

He smiled so I got up and' asked for his name
That don't matter, he said,
'Cause it's all the same

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An' next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me

Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An we'll be movin' on
An' singin' that same old song
Yeah with me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

Song of the Week

Looking at Megan's blog, I decided I really liked the 'Song of the Week' idea, especially since I have rapidly changing song obsessions. So, I stole her idea and have added this myself. The song will change every Sunday and remain until the next Saturday. I will also post the song lyrics when I change the song.



"Thinking of You" by Katy Perry

Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one, I still got the seed

You said 'Move on'
Where do I go?
I guess second best
Is all I will know

'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you, thinking of you
What you would do if you were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center

How do I get better
Once I've had the best?
You said there's tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself

'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you, thinking of you
What you would do if you were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes

You're the best and yes I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned
I touched it, I was burned
Oh, I think you should know

'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you, thinking of you
What you would do if you were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes

Oh, won't you walk through
The door and take me away?
No more mistakes
'Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay, stay
